<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 3998139"]I look forward to hearing more responses in this thread, as I am an ex-pharma rep (over 14 yrs), job-hunting, and may now have an opportunity to get into IT sales with one of the major players (I know someone there). To me, it sounds pretty intimidating, as we really weren't computer gurus in pharma, by any means, but if I can get in, I am going to go for it. Making that kind of switch will open up a world of opportunities that you simply won't ever get by staying in pharma or even med sales (who knows if med sales will end up more like pharma down the road. You certainly hope not!). People I know in IT sales do very well.... and the ones off the top of my head didn't have IT backgrounds.</p><p>I would say IT over pharma for sure! Yes, no brainer there. DO NOT TOUCH PHARMA!!! Medical--hard to say, but I do hear they are beginning to have similar issues as pharma (being shut out some, having to provide luncheons, etc.) Who knows what will happen in the healthcare sales world in the future. IT, much safer bet I would think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
